World War I hospitals were often overcrowded and unhygienic, with limited resources and staff to care for the influx of wounded soldiers. Conditions were further exacerbated by inadequate sanitation, leading to the spread of infections and diseases. Medical facilities were sometimes makeshift, set up in tents or repurposed buildings, and many patients faced long waits for treatment due to the sheer volume of casualties. Despite the challenges, advancements in medical practices and surgical techniques emerged during this time, influenced by the urgent need to treat severe injuries.
